How to create and show a region on google map widget

[fmanniti]

I am quite sure I can find an example somewhere in the support but I looked for without success.

I want to create an area by clicking locations on google map widget and that this area is visible on the map.

I've seen there is the possibility to bind a region but maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I have a ThingTemplate with 10 things, each thing has a location property, I want those 10 locations set a region.

If I load the GetImplementingThingsWithData service and bind AllData to RegionData, I can't see my region.

Another thing I would like to do is make the user define a new region by clicking a certain number of points on the map which will set the perimeter of the area.

Is there anyone who could explain me this? Or also could give me a link with a document I can read?

Thanks

Hello,

For your first question, take a look at this: https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS225480

I hope that this can help you.

Thank you very much. It's what I needed.

Just another question:

what if I want to show only one region?

I mean, I have a thing template which has one infotable property called "perimeter". To show them all I must bind "All data" from GetImplementhingThingsWithData to RegionData and SelectedRow(s)->perimeter->SelectedRow(s) to RegionLocationData.

But if I would only show the region for the selected entity I do the same thing  but instead bind "All data" to RegionData, I would bind "SelectedRow(s)".

My problem is that my google widget is inside a gadget and the list with all entities is out the gadget. Is it possible to do this?

Hello Fabio,

When you say that you have your google widget inside a gadget, you mean that you have it inside a mashup and your list with all entities in an other mashup?

[fmanniti]

Yes indeed.

I have what follows:

Main mashup

• List widget (A list of all my entities)
• Dashboard - A dashboard which contains several gadgets
  • Map gadget (with the google map)

So I'd like that the selected entity in the list widget may "speak" with the region in the map inside the gadget

I'm sorry Fabio, i've never worked with dashboards, i don't know how you can pass to your map gadget the thingname of your entity.

I hope that someone else can help.

Regards,

Ana.
